SUPPORTING MODULE FOR AN ADAPTIVE SLEEP SYSTEM, AND ADAPTIVE SLEEP SYSTEM
The present invention relates to a supporting module (100) for use in an adaptive sleep system and to a sleep system comprising such supporting modules, the resistance (resilience) of which can be adapted in a simple manner to the anatomy and/or posture of a user. The supporting module (100) for an adaptive sleep system comprises an uppermost supporting element (110), at least two drive shafts (140, 140), at least two leaf springs (130, 130) positioned parallel to one another, each leaf spring (130, 130) including a first and a second end, each first end being connected to the first supporting element, and each second end being in contact with an adjacent drive shaft (140, 140) via a coupling element (150), wherein the position of the second end of a leaf spring (130, 130) with respect to the adjacent drive shaft (140, 140) determines the deformation resistance of this leaf spring (130, 130), and wherein the coupling element (150) has been configured to transmit the rotational motion of at least one drive shaft (140, 140) to the leaf spring (130, 130), in order to modify the position of the second end of the leaf spring (130, 130) with respect to the adjacent drive shaft (140, 140).
SLEEPING PLATFORM
A sleeping platform for leveling and firming an inclined seating surface has a semi-rigid, rollable mat defining at sleeping area and is placed on the inclined seating surface, at least one wedge for placement under an edge area of the mat and on the inclined seating surface, a flexible, rollable mattress substantially equal in size to the sleeping area, for placement on an upper surface of the mat and a fitted sheet engaging at least around the mat and the mattress for providing a sleeping surface. A T-shaped bridge may also be included under the mat for keeping cushions of the seating surface from separating from each other during sleep.
Assemblable mattress support whose components fit inside the headboard
An assemblable mattress support can be shipped with all of its components compactly packed into the headboard. The mattress support includes a foldable longitudinal bar, a lateral bar, side panels, wooden slats, block legs and a footboard, all of which fit inside a compartment in the headboard. In an assembled state of the mattress support, a first connector at one end of the longitudinal bar attaches to a third connector on the outside of the headboard. A second connector at the other end of the longitudinal bar attaches to a fourth connector on the footboard. The middle of the lateral bar connects to the middle of the longitudinal bar. The block legs are attached to the bottom sides of the headboard and footboard. The slats are attached to one another by fabric ribbons and are placed in parallel over the longitudinal bar and support ledges on the side panels.

BED SYSTEM
A bed assembly includes first, second, third, and fourth side rails, first and second slat supports, first and second rail supports, and a slat. The side rails each include an end and a side. The end of the second side rail is coupled to the end of the first side rail. The end of the fourth side rail is coupled to the end of the third side rail such that the sides of the first and second side rails are facing the sides of the third and fourth side rails. The first and second slat supports are configured to engage the first and third side rails, respectively. The first and second rail supports each include a continuous surface coupled to two of the first, second, third, and fourth side rails and configured to inhibit movement of the two of the first, second, third, and fourth side rails.
Compressible foam foundation for mattress support
A foundation for a mattress is formed from one or more single-layer, unitary foam blocks with supports that extend across each foam block's bottom side. The supports provide lateral or longitudinal crosswise support across a bed frame and can be directly attached to the foam block or may be provided in a kit or separately sourced. Legs can be attached to the crosswise supports. The foam block is rigid enough to support a mattress and is compressible so it has a compressed configuration and an expanded configuration, and its bottom side may have channels for the supports. In the compressed configuration, the foundation may be folded and vacuum-sealed in a plastic membrane which provides benefits for storing, shipping, and delivering the foundation. When the foundation is delivered to its place of use, the compressed foundation is removed from its packaging, allowing the foam block to return to its expanded configuration.

ERGONOMIC MATTRESS CARRIER
A mattress carrier (1) comprising a base structure (2) to which compressible means can be attached directly or indirectly, wherein the base structure (2) comprises an opening (3, 11) and wherein said mattress carrier (1) comprises a panel (4, 5) which can be moved through the opening (3, 11) and to which compressible means can be attached directly or indirectly, wherein said panel (4, 5) is movable between a top position in which said panel (4, 5) extends in a plane located above the plane of the base structure (2), and a bottom position in which said panel (4, 5) extends in a plane located below the plane of the base structure (2).
